Who are all you guys regularly posting on the Mesa forum when you don't even work here? I mean, I get it when legacy guys with lots of time off and lots of extra money in the bank come in here and pontificate on things, b/c I'll prob do that too once I'm at a legacy and bored--but it's kind of sad and pathetic when regional pilots expend time and energy bashing on each other. Because basically, it's like homeless guys under an overpass in LA arguing about who is using the highest quality cardboard as a mattress, and about who has the best patch of concrete to sleep upon.
I don't care what is happening at XJet/ASA/Skywest/Envoy, etc.. I really don't. I don't regularly troll around in their threads on here. What makes their pilots troll around in here? I don't get it. I've been through mergers and bankruptcies in my decade as a 121 pilot, and I've never once been so unfulfilled, unconfident, and insecure in my life outside of work to even care about what is happening at any carrier other than the one that signs my checks and the codeshare overlord that signs theirs. Get a life, ya'll...seriously.

FYI... PHX will have about 60 lines for July on the FO side

Any news on contract negotiations with you guys? Has the union completely given up? You are in mediated negotiations right? What do you guys talk about at the table if nothing ever gets accomplished?

Latest news (probably about a month old) is that they are getting closer to a TA. Management and the union have been meeting regularly over the last several months. We are not in mediated negotiations. There is a ALPA conference call next week that may shed some light on the most up to date info.

Well, the negotiations are centered on money right now. Problem is, there isn't much money at Mesa. Hard to get what isn't there. But, they'll try for as much as they can get. Hope to have something to show to the MEC by September.

Anyone who has been through a long, drawn-out contract negotiation knows that--until sections on compensation and scheduling are closed and cleaned--you're not really "close to a TA" at all.
From my sources, the company isn't budging on scheduling--stuff like how they set buffers and criteria for swaps/drops/line enhancement. Until that section is closed, I'll be surprised if it's finished in my lifetime (sans some sort of pressure from our codeshare overlords).

How are you guys not in mediated negotiations? I thought you've been in talks for forever now. Maybe I'm wrong.
